Sorry if my mixing and matching of scales has your head in a spin :-).<br /><br />Yes, currently, as far as I am aware, the only manufacturer of 2mm sized historical miniatures is the UK company Irregular Miniatures.<br /> <br />There is a manufacturer of 3mm miniatures for WWII and Moderns, namely Oddzial Ozmy, available in the US through PicoArmour; these are obviously larger in size than their 2mm cousins.<br /><br />As you might see in another post on this blog, there are also nominally 1/600th miniatures available from Tumbling Dice and Peter Pig, and again these vary in size, being larger than the 2mm or more properly, 1/900th from Irregular Miniatures.<br /><br />If you are looking for blocks of figures for pre-twentieth century, brigade, divisional or even army level gaming, then the 2mm from Irregular are your best bet. <br />If you are looking at armoured conflicts in the twentieth century and beyond at company or battalion level, then Oddzial Osmy is probably better.<br /><br />Hope this helps!SteelonSandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12231931971295669901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688947053556352475.post-37704226847430340272009-12-12T12:53:38.653+00:002009-12-12T12:53:38.653+00:00Hi,

I've never really considered small scales before but thanks to you and Peter at Bacchus I'm hooked - started painting some 6mm fantasy figures and intend to move on to a VSF project in 6mm!
